PITTSBURGH, PA (December 28, 2017) - The City of Pittsburgh Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) will host the Western PA Mobility Showcase on Thursday, January 4, 2018.

The public is invited to the City of Pittsburgh's Western PA Mobility Showcase to explore the wide range of mobility services and systems that are emerging across North America and beyond.

New innovations make headlines every week – many of them originating from our own Southwestern Pennsylvania researchers and industries."
